voir at Little Rock,
The new water works at Little Rock
recently constructed by Colonel Zeb Ward
at cost of many thousand dollars, were
to have been opened on Wednesday Of
last week, but at ten O'Clock the center
wall dividing the two new reservoirs,
placed on a mountain, $50 feet above the
city, gave way, and allowed ,000,00Ogal
Ions Of water to run back down the mount
ain side into the river. The pumps had
been at work for a week pumping 3,OOO,OOc
gallons per day, filing the two reservoirs,
and the work was about done The wall
did not break up, but turned over IN sec
tions, just like a house. The lower reser-
voir was full and the water from the upper
rushed into it and caused il TO overflow
in a column at least ten feet deep,
which rushed down the mountain, carry
ing two buggies and several teams with
1t. The buggies were never found. Only
one mule was drowned. Preparations
had been made for entertaining large
number Of guests on the grounds, and the
place selected was just below the res
ervoir. in the path taken by the column Of
water, and had the break occurred one
hour later hundreds of people would have
been swept into the river by the swift
current. The wall was thirty feet high,
twelve and one-haIf feet at the base and
six feet at the top. It was built of stone
laid in cement. The damage is $40 900
The wall will be rebuilt at once, and the
works will be In condition within six
weeks. Three men and two ladies were
out on the wall when it first gave way, but
succeeded in getting to the ground before
